Split Shot: Whenever you spend one or more action dice to increase an attack check or damage roll, the same bonus is added to your next roll of that type that round as long as it is made against a different opponent

Hard Sweep I: BSM (Intimidate + Investigate) feat

Deathdealer I: Cleave Basics feat. You may also apply the benefits of this feat chain to your ranged attacks made with 1-handed weapons within their first range increment

I'd prefer to either of those an item that gives step 1 (Heritage) and 2 (Legacy) along one of the Bushido Paths (see Mr.s A's thread in the License to improvise forum), preferably Heroism, with War as second choice

I'm generally down with the idea of using a path, MikeS, though I think that may leave you at a power disadvantage. Both paths you mention are okay - I think War would be easier for me to deal with, mechanics-wise. Mister Anderson, any thoughts here? Your system-fu is much stronger than mine.

So I'm looking to get this rolling. Mr. A, MikeS, your characters are essentially done at this stage, we can worry about the legendary item business later. PM me with the email addresses you want to use so I can share you in on the Waves we use to play. Looking forward to seeing you guys there.

Gatac, I think I'll just go with the elemental water heritage/legacy in sword form. I'll update my character section tonight to add the item description, and then add a character description and motivation, etc.

I've got no problem with it, just be aware that the existing characters have the two-step Species feat thing going for them. Might want to spend some medium-term thought on how these effects can be upgraded down the line.
